      @AxLed I tried @evroom 's module config, but it keeps not streaming.

        Try this:

        $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Dreambox/
        
        $ cp -p node_helper.js node_helper.js.orig
        
        $ vi node_helper.js
        
        Locate:
        
        exec('omxplayer '
        
        Append this line:
        
        console.log('DB-PLAY(1): omxplayer '+self.config.omxargs+self.trimPort(self.config.apiBase)+':8001/'+payload[0]);
        
        
        Locate next:
        
        exec('omxplayer '
        
        Append this line:
        
        console.log('DB-PLAY(2): omxplayer '+self.config.omxargs+self.trimPort(self.config.apiBase)+':8001/'+payload[0]);
        
        
        $ pm2 restart mm
        
        $ pm2 logs
        
        Select a service and play that service:
        
        http://< MM_IP >:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-SERVICE-NEXT
        
        http://< MM_IP >:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-PLAY
        

        In pm2 logs should appear:

        0|mm  | DB-PLAY(1): omxplayer  --genlog --vol -6000 --win 0,625,590,957 --live http://192.168.178.47:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
        

        or:

        0|mm  | DB-PLAY(2): omxplayer  --genlog --vol -6000 --win 0,625,590,957 --live http://192.168.178.47:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
        

        In my case I see DB-PLAY(2).

        If you see nothing then it is back to the drawing board.
        Need to see what works and what not and where in the code.

        MagicMirror version: 2.30.0

            @evroom there are two instances of

            exec('omxplayer '
            

            one at line 40 and one at line 45.

            What shall I do?

              After both lines you need to put the console.log line, one with (1) and one with (2), see my post:

              Locate:
              
              exec('omxplayer '

              console.log('DB-PLAY(1): omxplayer '+self.config.omxargs+self.trimPort(self.config.apiBase)+':8001/'+payload[0]);
              
              
              Locate next:
              
              exec('omxplayer '
              
              Append this line:
              
              console.log('DB-PLAY(2): omxplayer '+self.config.omxargs+self.trimPort(self.config.apiBase)+':8001/'+payload[0]);

                  That explains the missing stream.
                  You are not getting to the DB-PLAY routine.

                  To me it looks like you have an issue with MMM-Remote-Control.
                  For example, I almost always get success, provide the IP is right, but the notification can be wrong

                  {"status":"success"}
                  

                  Can you try this:

                  $ cd /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control
                  $ git pull
                  $ git status
                  $ npm install
                  

                  And then restart mm and try again.

                  You can also put a debug line in the DB-STOP call and do

                  http://< MM_IP >:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-STOP
                  
                  $ vi node_helper.js
                  :
                  :
                                  if (notification === "DB-STOP") {
                  console.log('DB-STOP: stop the stream');
                                          exec('pkill omxplayer', null);
                                  }
                  :
                  :
                  

                  If you do not see this in the pm2 logs, then MMM-Remote-Control seems to be the culprit or the communication between the 2 modules.
                  But as it works for both AxLed and me …

                    @evroom oh wait what version of MMM-Remote-Control are you using? 🤔

                    The original developer (cannot remember the name sorry) one or the new one made by shbatm?

                      @evroom said in [MMM-Dreambox]:

                      @Cr4z33 and @evroom
                      You were pretty busy in debugging so far, somehow i had a similar idea as evroom.

                      You can do an git pull in your MMM-Dreambox folder for the dev branch, i added some debugging informations.

                      $ cd /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Dreambox
                      $ git pull
                      

                      Maybe “zap” or the “zap” Url isnt working.

                      @Cr4z33 can you please update and post the logs, the should look like

                      Debug MMM-Dreambox: omxplayer  --win 320,180,1600,900  -o both http://dm800se.fritz.box:8001/1:0:19:2B5C:41B:1:FFFF014A:0:0:0:
                      Debug MMM-Dreambox: zapstate:zap
                      

                      or

                      Debug MMM-Dreambox: omxplayer  --win 320,180,1600,900  -o both http://dm800se.fritz.box:8001/1:0:1:CBB2:2710:F001:FFFF0000:0:0:0:
                      Debug MMM-Dreambox: zapstate:
                      

                      You can also try to reduce the arguments like mine above to --win 320,180,1600,900 -o both.
                      I use MMM-Remote-Control of Jopyth.
